Table Centres - please flash

Hi your my wedding twin as ours in NYE too. Soooo excited i havent got a picture but we are having goldfish bowls on glass mirrors filled with clear gel (so that it looks like ice) and blue lights in them (our colours are blue, white / Ivory and silver) with a white gerbera and a bit of silver leaf thingy. So they aren't massive either. I was worried about mine too as i thought they may look too small our tables seat 8 but my florist who is doing them and venue planner has reasurred me they will be fine as they both said less is more. Maybe you could place them on glass mirrors (our venue is providing these as they use them regularly so you could ask yours) and you could maybe have scatter some of those table crystals / diamonds or whatever they are called if you know what i mean.

Hey there wedding twin!! :o)

The sound lovely. I had originally hoped for goldfish bowls but Mam was saying they would get in the way....... this is what I get for having a small wedding!!!

I love the idea of the glass mirrors, might have a try of that. would look pretty with the candle lit too!

I have seen some of the table diamonds, they are nice. Was wondering about possibly using table confetti, I know the venue has allowed that before.

Where are you holding the wedding (country wise?), ours is in the North West of Scotland! I think that fate has managed to time it so we leave the venue just as the town put on their NYE firework display which I must say I'm pretty chuffed about. I get to entertain my guests for free!! :o)

This is what we had

Amee your wedding sounds lovely and scots sure know how to do New Year properly. ours is in England in Staffordshire, am sooo excited, want to make it festive but christmas will be over so its a bit difficult am sort of having a snowflake and ice theme. want the evening do to be a real good NYE party but still want it to be my wedding if you no what i mean. Where our venue is its got acreas and acreas of gardens and then some mansions back onto it so hopefully a lord and lady of the manor will have a party and let fireworks off and we can pretend they were ours!!!!! tee hee

Cheekyleeky your centres look really classy, very nice x

We had really high ceilings so the flowers suited the venue perfectly.

Hey i havnt even thought about centre pieces but im getting married on nye next year so looking forward to hearing about yours most people have said to be why did we pick the date its a funny day bit i love the idea xx

Hey, Im the same, we have set the date for 23rd Dec next year and everyones commenting that its a bit weird. I don't care though I'll be on my honeymoon when you get married Have you done much planning yet? xxx

Thanks, bought the vases on a whim and didn't know what they would look like. Was really pleased with them when I saw them on the day.

We are having something very much like this

Thanks for all the replies, apologies for the late response, only just got round to hitching now!

cheekyleeky - i can't seem to see yours, must be something to do with my works computer.

Perfectgems - i love yours, they are lovely. This is what I had in mind too.

I also love the glass cube vase with the roses, v. elegant.

Wedding twin....... i shall have fingers and toes crossed that you get to share a fireworks display too

On the topic of the date being 'odd' I've had all of these comments too. Esp from the MIL 2B. She is apparently unable to come due to work commitments and in hindsight maybe we should have checked with them before booking everything but I didn't think she would be in work on NYE. Thankfully H2B has said he doesn't mind, he's not v. close with his family and has said that all that's important is that that we get married when it suits us!

Ma has been up to the venue and tried the table centres she originally found apparently work really well. We are going to get some mirror tiles for underneath too and some table confetti.

fingers crossed I won't change my mind again now that they are bought!

Everyone has commented that the date is odd but say its fabulous and really looking forward to it. I have a large family and we are all excited we are having a proper family get together and that we can all see the new year in together. We did a quick ring round to check no immediate family had to work and thankfully they havent. amee have you still got lots to do? Whats your dress like? etc etc want to hear about everything if thats ok of course x

I'm having peacock feathers but I haven't worked out what I'm doing with them which is slightly worrying as I've only got 4 weeks!! and i'm gonig on holiday tomorrow for a week!!! wah.......................
